Organizations operate in a competitive environment and for this reason they look for what distinguishes them from their competitors, improves the success of projects, (PM offices or PMOs) gives this feature, hence, organizations have adopted PMOs in many industries including the construction industry. This study highlighted the importance of applying modern project management methodologies in Syria in order to keep pace with the global market, especially through adopting Project Management Offices (PMO) in its construction industry as (PMO) is the ideal approach in managing projects efficiently and successfully. The Public Establishment of Housing in Syria has been selected as a case study because of the importance of the housing sector in Syria, which was affected by the Syrian crisis and the recent earthquake, which led to an increase in the demand for housing. A framework has been proposed and developed for PMO implementation and operation in the Public Establishment of Housing in Syria. This proposed Project Management Office aims to improve the reality of its project management by ensuring that these projects are completed in a timely manner, within budget limits, and to the required quality standards. The methodology used in this research included two axes: the first is a study of the literature for a deep understanding of PMO, and the second is interviews with housing organization employees to identify current practices in project management in the organization and what problems they suffer from, and then suggest the appropriate type of project management office for it.
